Default Clicking noise... car won't start

This is werid... I'm getting a clicking noise from the passenger seat area with no key in the ignition and the car won't start as the battery has been drained. The clock is still working and the clicking noise goes away when I turn the key in the ingnition. The noise starts out faintly and gets increasingly louder.

Help... anyone know what this is... I've done a search and didnt turn up anything relavant.

The clicking sound is the relay on the alarm control unit. I had a similar issue when I left the front trunk open for about 2 weeks. After I recharged the battery I didn't have any more problems. So I would try recharging your battery first and if that doesn't work you'll need to find someone with a Porsche system tester or Bosch Hammer to have them self-test the alarm control unit.
